{ Repeat the intro for each verse }
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect

 

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

 

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

 

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

 

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

 

Em  Em7  C              B7?
    That's not the shape    The shape of my heart

 

 

Now there's a change in key, which goes something like:

 

       Bm               F#m                 Em                    F#

Bm7  G  F#7  Em   ( And now back to the original key )

 

And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

 

Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

 

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

 

Em  Em7  C               B7?         Em
        That's not the shape of my heart
   Em7  C              B7?
         That's not the shape   The shape of my heart

 

Repeat the intro, and while the    e----12--|--
last Em is still ringing, play:    B---12---|--
                                   G--12----|--

{ Play part II again once for each of the following verses: }

 

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

 

Perhaps this final act was meant to clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

 

Part III:

 

{ Lyrics for this part: }

 

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star   like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are   how fragile we are

Note:   Play parts II, III, V and VI using mostly Am (002210) and D7

       It is often easier to press some extra strings than pressing only
       the ones you actually pick.
